Great balance of protein and veg. I swapped chicken for tofu and it still came out fantastic.
Cook's notes
How to serve:
On its own, as a high-protein dish.
With fresh vegetables or steamed broccoli.
With a salad of cucumber, fresh herbs, and leafy greens for extra volume and freshness.
Tips & variations
Prep ahead
Roast the sweet potatoes and cook the grains the night before — the bowl comes together in minutes.
Make it vegetarian
Swap the chicken for grilled tofu or crispy chickpeas without losing the protein punch.
Store & reheat
Keeps for 3 days in an airtight container. Add the avocado fresh, just before serving.
Boost the flavour
A squeeze of lemon and a pinch of flaky salt right before eating brightens the whole bowl.
